This happens time and time again in the league. If I were coach I would make the same call too. Travis has always been expendable to me. So good luck for his future but the Bronco’s will keep it moving.

I love the name Henry, my grandfather’s name was Henry, but there the similarities end. My Grandfather (known as Hank) taught me how to fish, how to hunt, but more importantly how to fish. He had one wife, Selma was her name, she was kind. I wonder how many of Travis’ grandkids will remember the name Henry. I have this funny feeling that this team is moving in the right direction. Goodbye Henry.

I have no sympathy for a player who doesn’t have a good work ethic. There’s always more fish in the ocean.

that this move by Shanny was EXPECTED? Like every writer out there is saying the writing was on the wall for weeks and the Pittman signing made it apparent that Henry’s days were coming to an end as a Bronco.

It’s funny cause in reading through all the articles written in the last week, including right after Pittman’s signing, I found no one saying Henry is EXPECTED to be cut or that the writing is on the wall for him I read alot about Mike Bell’s days being numbered, yet he is still around. lol

Is the media so full of itself that it tries to pat itself on the back for not seeing what was coming at all? I was caught off guard as anyone else with this move, and I read no where on MHR of Travis Henry possibly being cut…I read about people saying he needs to get back on the field, but not that he’d be cut for not recovering quickly enough from a stressed hammie. Or perhaps I am the only one truly shocked by this move…not that I am not happy with it…cause no my Selvin Young bandwagon is getting filled by the second over here! lol

Then again, the mainstream media is all about making sure they report their version of reality, truth is no longer an important feature of journalism. They leave that to us bloggers. ;)

went to great lengths to carefully word a question to the effect that Travis might not have been in shape arriving at camp. With a very small smile, Shanahan congratulated him on an insightful query.

NFL players need to understand that in today’s market there is no offseason – there’s game season and training season. That was only one part of what Henry doesn’t seem to ‘get’, and I feel for him in some ways. But not to the point of messing up Young’s development – just before Shanahan was informed that Henry didn’t arrive this morning, Shanny and some wriiters were talking about how pleased with Young The Coach is. With Hall looking good, Torain giving a good impression and Pittman a viable ‘The Sky is Falling’ option, small wonder that Mike decided that distractions, especially expensive ones, aren’t going to stay. Good for him

I didn’t like Henry comming to Denver in the first place. He did seem to be the right man for the job for the time though. I will also admit he looked promising at the begining of last year. As I have said before the one thing I like about Denver is they seem to make a good effort to get quality people not just quality football players. I thought he would be around till next year. If he kept clean it would have been nice to keep him for one more year. But I am not sad to see him go and I have a lot of respect for Coach for making a great call. I think this really sends a message, the Broncos are focuse this year and they don’t want any distractions. This did come as a suprise if anything I thought his injury would hold him back. I guess in a way it is all related. Best of luck to you Henry else where.

One piece of advise, don’t get drunk and get in to it with a cab driver and them blame coach for all you problems. :)

I know that word should be in quotes these days, but technically you cannot cut a player for not appearing at a voluntary activity. This is a criticism of the Bill Williamson article, not the Broncos decision. Well, I guess it is a criticism of the system as well. Its one more thing that needs to be revisited in the new CBA.

how someone could make the decisions Henry made. He made more money per year in his career than I made in my entire working life as a salesman. He didn’t even have the sense to show up in shape to OTAs. Who ever is advising this young man did him no favors. His agent is as big a fool as he. What a shame, what a waste.

Great term. I bet a year at Unisea or even a season on an SE slimeline would provide lifelong instant uprades. Too much money at too young an age.

and so did I for that matter. For Henry to show up out of shape (in fact, to not even show up at all), is inexcusable. Folks may deserve second chances, and maybe even thirds. But he used them up in Denver. It’s a shame, but the team will be better for it.
